stainless water pipes

Post by fazzer »

Are early water pipes the same shape as late ones ,early ones are smaller in diameter I know.I bought later pipes and was wondering if it's possible to modify it to fit my early t25 by reducing the ends to 32mm.

It's more the different sized holes in the chassis cross members that's the problem. Late pipes won't fit through the smaller early holes. If you look underneath you'll see :-)

Send em back and get the right ones. As above the hole in the cross member just behind the tank wouldn't be big enough and it would be a pig of a job to try to make it fit.
